A lot of reasons can be applied to why the Pittsburgh Steelers ended up getting embarrassed by the Jacksonville Jaguars in the postseason last year, but in my opinion the single biggest reason was due to the front seven’s utter inability to get any kind of penetration or push against Jacksonville’s front line.
Unfortunately for the Jaguars, I think it’s pretty safe to say that that won’t be as big of an issue this time around, for reasons on both sides of the line. For one thing, the Steelers lead the league in sacks and have been among the best in generating pressure on a play to play basis.
